Baring in mind that the children involved are under 10's 06/07
My team got bored swore at each other went off in huffs etc
The action that i took ay the end of the session was to warn players of any further swearing
Will cost them a £1 but on the first instance they will be given a written warning
The training was quite successful from a football point of view
However the first and foremost aspect of coaching in my view should be fairplay and
within our first season we were the most unbiased team in our league
Now results are how we are all judged but at what cost to our players long term development.
But how can we let the game be the teacher when it is led by a lot of people who set bad examples i.e referees who favour one team foul and abusive language yelling at small children who are prone to making lots of silly mistakes
Remember we are the ambassadors/teachers and role models Assistant bossman
